Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Mark Andrews

Wednesday, October 29, 2:24 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has worked his way back onto the fantasy radar after a quiet start to the season. The veteran has 10 targets, seven catches, 59 yards, and one touchdown over his last two games, solidifying his role as the Rams' top tight end over Colby Parkinson and Terrance Ferguson. He has capitalized on the impressive efficiency of Los Angeles' passing offense this season, led by Matthew Stafford. The quarterback and tight end have maintained a solid rapport despite the presence of several weapons on offense, including Puka Nacua (ankle) and Davante Adams. While Higbee's upside is highest with Nacua sidelined, he can still be a solid TE2 option if the star receiver returns for Week 9 against the Saints. Moving forward, Higbee will continue to warrant consideration as a top-24 tight end in fantasy football.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has registered just one game with double-digit fantasy points this season in half-PPR formats. Even in a game where he received eight targets against the Kansas City Chiefs, he only finished with seven receptions for 30 yards, which comes to a measly 4.3 yards per catch. While Lamar Jackson (hamstring) may be back in this game, it doesn't instill the same confidence compared in past seasons. The Chicago Bears give up an average of 14.62 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, but they've only allowed two touchdowns to the position all season. Andrews remains in TE2 territory until he can prove to be a big part of the offense on a consistent basis again.
